This was sort of a frustrating read. Every escalation just made me want to throw the book because every time someone would say to not make things worse, they’d do the exact opposite. Willa and Tom were both awful people with no redeeming qualities, so every time it switched to following them I was irritated. I also hated the ending. Selma’s entire family being ripped apart and Willa showing up in the hospital and still clearly being stuck all the way up her own ass made my blood boil. Really the entire Bil twist was so unsatisfying to me.
